Chef gives up restaurant for snack shack

Krista Desjarlais, owner of Bresca, has decided to take her culinary expertise and open a summertime snack shack at Outlet Beach on Sabbathday Lake in New Gloucester.

Desjarlais said working nights was taking its toll, so she bought the snack shack which has been around since the 1920s and plans to serve good eats.

The new eatery will be called "Bresca and the Honey Bee."

Her new website states, "This summer, Bresca and the Honey Bee at Outlet Beach, will continue the traditions of family fun and summer dining with food that is picnic-inspired, simple, healthy, and delicious from locally sourced and seasonal ingredients."

Final preparations are being made, and Desjarlais is waiting for her food license and hopes to be cooking by next Monday.
